+<h1>
+Microsoft C, C++, C# Compiler for Windows OS
+</h1>
+
+<pre>
+Get a Free and Legal Copy of Microsoft Compiler to develop and test your programs for Windows without quitting Linux.
+
+@ http://who.is.free.fr/wiki/index.php?MSVC
+
+Next goal is to make it fully usable with GNUmake thus by providing scripts that translate gnu standard command lines to Dos ones ... feel free to contact me if interessed.
+1/ GET IT
+
+The Compiler itself is free (not Libre but it cost nothing) and fully usable under Linux w/ wine
+
+get Microsoft Visual Tool Kit : (free version)
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
+
+ ed2k://|file|VCToolkitSetup.exe|32952488|c534888fa7605403dcb183d2d15282d1|
+
+Then you have compiler/linker (cl.exe) libc and standard includes.
+
+ #rzr@nrv:lib/$ ls /home/rzr/mnt/msvc2003/bin/
+ c1.dll    c2.dll  cl.exe.config  link.exe         msobj71.dll  msvcp71.dll
+ c1xx.dll  cl.exe  dbghelp.dll    link.exe.config  mspdb71.dll  msvcr71.dll
+
+ #rzr@nrv:lib/$ ls /home/rzr/mnt/msvc2003/lib/
+ kernel32.lib  libcd.lib  libcmt.lib  libcpd.lib  libcpmt.lib  oldnames.lib
+ libc.lib      libcd.pdb  libcp.lib   libcpd.pdb  mscoree.lib
+
+Platform SDK is provided also (see further)
+
+Missing files and workaround :
+
+    * nmake / use GNUmake should be possible
+    * Windows Mfc OpenGL & DirectX libs ? 
+
+2/ Msvc on Linux
+
+Unpack the archive (on Windows )
+
+ mv "Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003" /mnt/c/opt/msvc2003
+ ln /mnt/c/opt/msvc2003 ${HOME}/mnt/msvc2003
+
+then you can manage with some environement setting (to put in a script, ask me for it)
+
+ export MSVC_DIR_GNU="${HOME}/mnt/msvc2003/"
+ export MSVC_DIR_DOS="Y:\\mnt\\msvc2003\\"
+ export PATH="${MSVC_DIR_GNU}/bin:${PATH}"
+ export INCLUDE="${MSVC_DIR_DOS}include"
+ export LIB="${MSVC_DIR_DOS}lib"
+ export WINEDLLPATH="${DLL_DIR_GNU}:${MSVC_DIR_GNU}bin:${WINEDLLPATH}"
+ alias cl="${WINE} ${WINE_OPTS} ${MSVC_DIR_GNU}bin/CL.EXE"
+ ...
+ cl main.c && wine main.exe # et voila :)
+
+Well to avoid to loose time feel free to improove my wrapper script : http://rzr.online.fr/docs/contribs/bin/cc-msvc.sh (works also w/ vc98)
+3/ COMPILE & TEST Windows applications on Linux with Microsoft tools for Free
+
+ #rzr@nrv:cproject/$ cat cmain.c
+
+ #include <stdlib.h>
+ #include <stdio.h>
+ int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
+ #ifdef _MSC_VER
+   printf("_MSC_VER=%d\n",_MSC_VER);
+ #endif
+   return ( EXIT_SUCCESS);
+ }
+
+ #rzr@nrv:cproject/$ ~/bin/cc-msvc.sh cl cmain.c
+ # wine /home/rzr/mnt/msvc2003/bin/CL.EXE cmain.c
+ Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3052 for 80x86

+
+ /out:cmain.exe
+ cmain.obj
+
+ #rzr@nrv:cproject/$ cmain.exe
+ _MSC_VER=1310
+
+4/ PLATFORMSDK & USING WINAPI
+
+AS said on : http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/msvc.html
+
+Since this is the .NET SDK, it doesn't come with the headers and libraries required for Win32 API development, as these are part of the Platform SDK. Lo and behold, the Platform SDK is free as well. You only need the Core SDK, but feel free to download the other components as you desire.
+
+http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/downlevel.htm
+
+The platform SDK can't be easily got to because it uses ActiveX controls.
+
+Here are some direct links:
+
+ http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/PSDK-FULL.bat
+ http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/Extract.exe
+ http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/PSDK-FULL.1.cab
+ http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/PSDK-FULL.*.cab
+ http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/sdk/update/win98mexp/en-us/3790.0/FULL/PSDK-FULL.13.cab
+
+ ed2k://|file|PSDK-FULL.1.cab|26221140|18832004fd27bb12a12144ab68cd32ca|
+ ed2k://|file|PSDK-FULL.2.cab|26221140|cc356f4cfb2fc3628efb69f3ba890f8b|
+
+ ed2k://|file|PSDK-FULL.13.cab|24343136|e64ef6ab33906f68cd3dd8022746bae8|
+ ed2k://|file|PSDK-FULL.bat|416|e68abfd97ea840d0841c21a6eee5540a|
+
+note that there are 13 files (of 25Mb each) : PSDK-FULL.1.cab to PSDK-FULL.13.cab, you'll need them all and the two files, PSDK-FULL.bat and Extract.exe in the same directory.
+
+thx baldurk @ http://irc.freenode.net/#winehq
+5/ TODO AND GOING FURTHER
+
+    * how to "emulate" gcc command lines ? 
+
+is there a script that translate -I... to /I... etc ? then we can use the full GNU suite and w/ msvs
+
+    * wrap autoconf scripts 
+
+    * I can use nmake from shell (bash) , but no along GNUmake 
+
+ $ cat GNUmakefile
+ #NMAKE=${HOME}/bin/nmake.bat # stupid ^M
+ NMAKE=${HOME}/bin/nmake.sh
+
+ nmake: ${PROJECT}.mak
+	${NMAKE} /f $<
+
+it seems that gmake happend some ^M to the comandline
+
+ NMAKE : fatal error U1065: invalid option '-'^M
+
+MISC TIPS
+CONSOLE
+
+How to enable disable console ( go to link options )
+
+ /subsystem:windows
+ /subsystem:console
+
+Or put this in your main.cpp
+
+ #pragma comment(linker,"/ENTRY:WinMainCRTStartup")
+ #pragma comment(linker,"/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE")
+
+FILES
+
+Semi Useless files : .opt .ncb ...
+
+http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=PDB
+
+A program database (PDB) file holds debugging and project state information that allows incremental linking of a Debug configuration of your program.
+SYMBOLS
+
+The following are keywords in Microsoft C and C++. You can't use any C keywords in a C++ program.
+
+Names with leading underscores are Microsoft extensions.
+
+C Language Keywords:
+
+ unsigned signed
+ short float char int double long
+
+ void enum union typedef struct sizeof
+
+ if else
+ while do for
+ switch case default
+ break  goto continue
+ return
+
+ static const extern volatile register
+
+ asm 	pascal __fortran
+ fastcall 	self  auto segment  based __segname
+ cdecl 	huge inline interrupt loadds near
+ export far 	__saveregs
+
+C++ Language Keywords:
+
+ this class virtual friend private protected public
+ throw try catch
+ new delete
+ operator  inline
+ multiple_inheritance single_inheritance __virtual_inheritance
+
+The following are not keywords, but they have special meaning in Microsoft C++:
+
+ main
+ argc argv envp
+ _setenvp _set_new_handler  __emit _setargv
+
+ #ifdef _MSC_VER  // will detect if you're using msvc ++
+ #endif
+
+MFC
+
+Is there any free implementation of MFC ? the wine project may did
+
+http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcmfc98/html/_mfc_cwnd.asp
+MISC
+
+dll : libtool for msvc ? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/dynamic_link_library_entry_point_function.asp
+
+Emacs w/ msvc http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq10.html http://www.dotemacs.de/dotfiles/DavidJolley.emacs.html
